Hi Daniel,
my system is gentoo linux, KDE-3.5, LyX 1.5.3 1.5.5 1.6svn (a few weeks old
I have the problem that I sometimes wnat to have ç (in french texts) and
also å (in swedish texts).
The solution I found already several years ago is to have a bash start
script in the Autostart folder, in which I define:
xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Multi_key"
Since I nearly never use the caps lock key I redefine it in this way as
'compose' key.
There are files like /usr/share/keymaps/include/compose.latin1 which
show you the transformations of <compose>+<key>+<key> to different symbols.
For the above examples I have to type <caps lock> 'c' ',' and
<caps lock> 'a' 'a' one after the other.
This works inside LyX, vim and also on the command line.
HTH

Also, I tried a "normal" US keyboard setting (without dead keys): it did
not change anything. So the dead keys are not the problem.
BTW My LOCALE is de as well as my keyboard setting
